After more than two-decades, authorities have finally located a rare 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo that went missing on November 24, 1988. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers discovered the car just before it was to be shipped out of the country.

CBP officers discovered the Porsche while inspecting a container bound for the Netherlands. Officials ran the vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number and were shocked to learn the vehicle was reported stolen 23 years earlier.

Unfortunately for the car's previous owner, it was an insurance write-off, so the CBP returned the 930 Turbo to the insurance company that now owns the title. However, the Porsche looks to be a little worse for wear and reportedly no longer has an engine.

Here at Leftlane, we believe the contributions of the community are just as valuable as those of our staff. The Web, at its core, is a medium for information sharing and communication. We strive to provide good information, but without youâ€”the community memberâ€”there is no communication.

And while we have internal editorial policies governing the manner in which we share information, we have traditionally lacked similar guidelines for how our readers communicate. Lately, as our community following has increased and spread across additional platforms, it has come to our attention that we need to address this shortfall.

We want our comments section to be a healthy, vibrant forum for debate, discussion and opinion. We want to keep the tone light, conversational and if not fun, at least pleasant. We strive to keep the Leftlane platform accessible to all who wish to contribute so long as theyâ€™re willing to be civil. As such, the following behaviors will be monitored by our editorial team.

Personal insults and flaming

Debate (and even argument) is welcome, but when a conversation devolves from a conflict of beliefs or opinions into a personal grudge match, the value of that discussion is lost.

Inflammatory/offensive language

With adult conversation comes adult language, but the deliberate use of said language to offend or insult will not be tolerated.

Blatant discriminatory comments

Please check your â€“ist comments at the door. Genuine discussion of demographics is perfectly acceptable so long as it is substantiated by demonstrable market data, not hearsay or anecdotal information.

Spoofing/sockpuppeting

Impersonation of Leftlane readers or other figures is not acceptable. Spoof accounts may be banned without warning.

Please note that these are general guidelines. All decisions by our staff will be made on a case-by-case basis. <<Collapse
